After years of working in the US, Pedro retreats to the Mexican mountains that he yearned to escape. As he reconnects with his family, Antonio Méndez Esparza creates "a richly layered mood that steadily accumulates emotion… The slightest indication of sorrow speaks volumes about (Pedro’s) conundrum, as well as the greater tragedy of its never-ending cycle."—Indiewire. Winner, Critics’ Week Grand Prize, Cannes 2012.
